Opportunities for Partnerships:Global Connections
All universities are aspiring to be more ‘global’;
There are many opportunities to create partnerships with other universities as well as with programs/departments within universities;
While administrative leadership is important, faculty leadership and local champions are essential to the success of any global initiative;
Global programs should intellectually transform and enhance the institutions, programs and all the people involved in them.
